Singer Waje Iruobe has shared a profound lesson she’s learned in 2024, highlighting the importance of personal growth and emotional intelligence.
In a rare family photo with her daughter on Instagram, Waje revealed that making significant life changes to improve oneself will inevitably ruffle others’ feathers.
She noted that people resistant to change often don’t want others to change either but it’s essential to remember that their discomfort is not your problem.
Waje encouraged followers to take responsibility for their choices and not blame themselves for others’ reactions.
She also emphasised the value of emotional intelligence, clarifying that choosing silence and looking the other way doesn’t signify weakness.
Waje added the importance of gratitude, stating it’s the healthiest human emotion.
“My Biggest lesson of 2024 so far is……When you decide to make serious life changes to improve your life and health, it is almost inevitable that you will ruffle someone’s feathers. People who aren’t ready to change don’t want others to either. Remember that this is their problem, not yours, so don’t blame yourself for their choices, but be responsible for yours.
“Emotional intelligence is a gift that keeps giving; my decision to look the other way in silence for a TIME isn’t a sign of weakness. Gratitude is the healthiest form of all human emotions. @emeraldogochukwu is a stunner”.
